Would you call Fred Dibnah 'attractive'?

Until recently, a woman of comparable attractiveness to Fred Dibnah
would have been almost impossible to see as a presenter. (Someone is
about to say 'two fat ladies')

I remember my father telling me that El Al did some research on what
people wanted air stewardesses to be like and a significant number
said they favoured the motherly type rather than the dolly-bird
cultivar.

Our culture is artificially skewed: we take gardening advice from our
mothers, after all.
